greetings..im looking to replace my bmw in the next couple of months.

im considering a cpo 991 cab or 981 cab. i will test drive them both.
i know the boxster is cab only, and the cayman is not an option. so if the cab is ruled out it will be a 991 coupe, if i choose porsche. when looking at cabs online i sometimes see faded, discolored, stained and wrinkled tops . these are all late model cars, and this has me somewhat concerned.

i read they should be stored with the top up, they need cleaning and sealing, also recommended a car cover or garage. add to that i live in nyc and dont know how much i will even drop the top. i see a number of cons yet in spite of that i havent ruled it out. so im looking to those who were also undecided but then made the decision . any cab owners chose it and regretted it, or passed on it and regretted it.

 

I've had a 986S w a blue top and a 981S w a black top. The 986 is 13 years old, but I still coat the top every 6 or 8 months and it looks reasonable for being stored outside, no cover.
The 981 gets the garage slot and I coat it every 6 months. It looks new, the only way to avoid the odd wrinkle is never take the top down.
If you must have the extra horsepower of the 911, it will cost about 40k over the Boxster. When you're sitting inside the car, you won't know which one is which.

Once you have had a convertible, it makes other cars less attractive. I hope for a GT4 Boxster.
